The targets where bombed but some where still intact and other had been rebuilt or could be rebuilt if the bombing stopped or was greatly reduced Tell me what you are talking about? I read very clearly reports that there were no targets available. I remember a major newspaper reporter being shown some inside info on the maps. There were no targets left...other than what were being called "junk" targets. "the Japanese while in a hopeless position still where not destroyed." But this is not the point. The point (as you said) is that they were "hopeless". The victor then decides how to deal with the "hopeless". You can draw and quarter them...or simply hang them. We did not have a great number of nukes until the 50s. PLEASE!!! I can quote you nuclear experts from 1945 who said that additional bombs could have been made available..."forthwith"! "The countryside was almost untouched." What are you talking about? What island are you referring to? What population numbers are you presuming, or intending to cite? Japan is not a nation of "countryside", LOL!! "If all you have is WWII bombers and a handful of nukes it would be almost impossible." You had enough bombers and enough production to take out Japan several times over ;-). As far as "nukes"? They could have been produced in unlimited quantity. We are doing that constantly at a rate of one hour per hour No, you are not. You have never travelled to the past, nor to the future. We have seen images of the past, but we have never been there... These are the facts, Tim.
